There’s Sonic Adventure, Crazy Taxi, Space Channel 5: Part 2, and – of course, the classic – Sega Bass Fishing. In other words, there’s something for everyone – so long as you fall into one of four incredibly specific categories. Check out the full thing after the break, courtesy of Joystiq.

Sega has announced the Dreamcast Collection for PC and Xbox 360 is to be released next month, permitting those whose faithful consoles have curled up and died the chance to revisit several classic titles including Space Channel 5: Part 2 and SEGA Bass Fishing.

For those born too late to appreciate this bit of awesome-sauce, please note the total lack of sarcasm in my enthusiasm.

Available on disc for PC and Xbox 360 as well as through digital distribution channels, the Dreamcast Collection releases on February 25 in Europe, February 22 in North America, February 24 in Australia and February 25 in New Zealand.

The full line up is Sonic Adventure; Crazy Taxi; SEGA Bass Fishing; and Space Channel 5: Part 2.

Putting aside the questionable value of those first two, the only possible detracting factor is the lack of an official Dreamcast fishing rod peripheral, a delightful bit of engineering which briefly made fishing games a thing you were happy to admit to owning.

Revamped re-releases of the original Space Channel 5 and SEGA Bass Fishing for the PlayStation network and Xbox Live Arcade were confirmed in October, too.

SEGA’s Yosuke Okunari, producer of the Dreamcast and Master System re-releases, has said the firm’s considering releasing titles from SEGA Saturn digitally.

Speaking with Game Watch Impress, Okunari said SEGA started off with Genesis and Dreamcast titles because those were the most popular and well known of the lot.

“When you look globally, the Genesis and Dreamcast are well known, but Saturn is unknown,” he said. “During that period, PlayStation and Nintendo 64 were a success overseas, but to be honest Saturn was not a success. Because of this, we decided on Dreamcast.

“It’s not that we’re ignoring Saturn I think you can see this, considering that we ported Nights Into Dreams and other titles.

“What we announced this time is a project where we will have consecutive releases of titles that were debuted on Dreamcast. Separate from this, we’re of course thinking about ports of Saturn games. It’s the same as how Sega Ages and Virtual Console were separate existences. It’s not that we have no intention of porting Saturn titles, so please share your requests.”

Okunari went on to say that SEGA may put online functionality in some games, but also teased that some of the titles being reworked may already contain online capability.

He also said the reason SEGA was skipping digital Wii releases was due to size limitations, but he added, however, the firm plans to continue developing games for Virtual Console.

It’s being reported that the XBLA and PSN versions of Sonic Adventure do not venture out of its 4:3 aspect ratio.

Joystiq, reporting from the E3 show floor, said the game displays only in 4:3, with vertical bars surrounding the sides of a widescreen display.

Sega also confirmed to the site that it was unable to alter the code for Sonic Adventure.

The company’s’ other Dreamcast title, Crazy Taxi, will support full resolution, although the original soundtrack and the branded stores have been replaced with generic music and brands due to licensing issues.
